The Sweetness that is the Sweet 16!
First, I'd like to preface this by saying that I haven't posted in a long time, but I've been growing disillusioned with this blog, and I needed something to get me kick-started.
And that something is now.
I have never, ever, ever seen a collapse as unbelievable as the Gonzaga collapse that I've just watched. I've seen teams lose on random shots, teams lose because of bad free-throw shooting, teams lose because of timeouts, and teams lose because of arbitrary turnovers, but Gonzaga invented a new way to screw up tonight, and that's remarkable.
If I find a picture of Morrison for my blog, it's totally getting posted. I want to write again!
Now, onto the more interesting aspects of the tourney, as well as my picks for tomorrow. I'm taking George Mason in one of the most bizarre home games ever conceived by the tourney committee; GMU in D.C. implies fans can take the Metro to see their team play, while Wichita's fans are flying in from... Wichita. GMU 75, Wichita State 66.
It's time to give Villanova some credit, and it's time to recognize that eventually, Boston College will have to shoot well to win. Too much pressure and too much experience give 'Nova the edge, 81-77.
Florida is really the x-factor left in the tourney, but this Georgetown game's too close to call. It's also time to give a shout-out to the SEC as being as tough as the Big East this year. I'm going to stop hating on the Gators long enough to give them the edge over the Hoyas, who outclassed (dare I say it?) the Buckeyes in a game that had OSU looking like the 7 seed. By the way, Roy Hibbert could be an effective pro. I'll take the Gators in this one, 73-65.
And here's the game of the night: UConn versus Washington. It would be a no-brainer to take UConn in this one if there wasn't this problem of Brandon Roy being the best, most consistent player on the court. But he is, and Washington can flat out score, which always gives UConn problems. Huskies win, 88-87.
What, you say that both Washington and UConn are the Huskies? I want to take UConn, then.
More later... I'm out.

4 for 4. Not bad.
blah blah blah, interesting. i'm sure you had something to say, but whatever.
Anonymous, what are you talking about? "Blah, blah, blah, interesting," isn't a sentence.
Yeah, I thought that was a pretty weird post as well. How about George Mason... that's some craaaaaazzzzzzzy stuff.
Yeah, George Mason is pretty crazy. And to think, I had a post lined up about how they didn't deserve to be in the tournament.
I'm really curious to know who this anonymous person is, mainly because I can't believe anybody new would bother to read this blog.
